Day of discovery

Year 3 had a fantastic trip to the Hancock Museum in Newcastle, where they thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Roman and Ancient Egyptian exhibitions. The children were fascinated by the artefacts and stories from the past, and also took great interest in the museum’s other engaging displays. During the visit, they enjoyed a walk through Newcastle, spotting key landmarks such as Newcastle University, Northumberland Street and Grey’s Monument. It was a wonderful day of learning and discovery, and both the children and staff had a great time.
